Vol. 4l.No.70 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 20. 1941 Price Three CentsMorrisonProtestsT^PUP. U. CommittedBreach of Faith in RecentMeeting.In a letter received yesterday byRay Witcoff, president of PoliticalUnion, John Morrison, Director of themiddle-west branch of Aid the Allies,vigorously protested that P. U. hadcommitted a breach of faith by havinghim appear at its meeting last Thurs¬day on the same platform with arepresentative of the Emergency PeaceMobilization, namely, Donald Hender-son, after he had been assured thatthis would not happen.Morrison further stated that hisspeaking under such circumstances vi¬olated an agreement his organization.Aid the Allies, had made with theAmerica First Committee. This agree¬ment, he said, was that no memberof either organization would speakon the same program with a repre¬sentative of the “communist-domin¬ated” Emergency Peace Mobilization.Denying that Morrison had beenduped into appearing Ray Witcoff de¬clared in a letter to the Daily Maroon:“Mr. Henderson spoke in the capacityof a labor leader, not as a representa¬tive of the Emergency Peace Mobili-lation. Your office informed the LiberalParty representative that you wouldbe willing to apeak on the same plat¬form with any labor leader so longas be was not officially representingthe Emergency* Peace Mobilization.”Perez 21agorin, Chairman of the LaborParty, whose position Henderson wasbacking, echo«jd W’itcolf’s statement. Gypsie Shows RedUndies in MandelThe Traveling Bazaar got in tosee Gypsy Rose Lee display, her redflannel pants in Mandel Hall. Butoutside there was a hungry hordeof males, trying frantically tocrash the oaken doors of Mandel.Janet Wagner, with grim and un¬ladylike persistence, turned manafter man away. A member of theMaroon Board, frothing at themouth, tried to climb the sides ofthe wall and sneak in that way, butwas completely frustrated.During the time that she was inthe Cofi'ee Shop, a ring of studentspanted around her table. It wasn’tthe slap game going on that fas¬cinated them, either. In short. MissHovick, or Gyp as her friends callher, was a sensation.Select JudgesFor Moot CourtIn Low SchoolJudges for the Law School’s mootcourts, which begin February 24, havebeen selected, and include many prom¬inent members of the bar of the worldoutside.Two judges of the United StatesCircuit Court of Appeals, whichstands just below the Supreme Courtin the judicial heirarchy, will be pres¬ent in the persons of J.

With the aid of theselamps, which were developed in theresearch laboratories of the GeneralKlectric and Westinghouse Companies,it is now possible to I'eadily control afactor of the environment which it hasheretofore been very difficult to con¬trol. Light, temperature, humidity,and nutrition can now all be controlledand regulated; and these environmen¬tal factors are, by all odds, the mostimportant in the growth of plants.The lamp consists of a glass tube,ttie inner surface of which is coatedwith phosphorescent paint whichchanges the wave length of the lightgiven off by the mercury vapor insidethe tube. By varying the consistency**f the phosphorescent paint differentwave lengths can be obtained. In thisway red, green, blue, gold, white and"daylight” colored lights have been|)i oduced. This ingenious device makespossible a great many new experi¬ments and may have practical applica-liotis in growing hot-house vegetablesand flowers—particularly during thewinter months in the Chicago region.Fine ResultsI’lants grown indoors under this new |light appear more like those grown insunlight than those grown under anyother artificial source except arc light.The different colors of fluorescent lightnow available are being u.sed to deter¬mine their effect on the utilization ofiiminonia and nitrates by tomatoplants. If the quality of light doeshave any effect on the utilization ofammonia and nitrate nitrogen, thenIt will be possible to formulate a bet- jler nutrient solution for use in ex- jI'crimental work under environmental- ( ly controlled conditions. Such informa¬tion might also prove of value in thepractical application of fertilizers inregions where the light, during thegrowing season, is for example highin red or blue.More KHiciencyFluorescent lamps ai'e much moreefficient than ordinary filament lights.A 15 watt lamp will give off approx¬imately as much light as ordinary 60watt lamps. This great economy is dueto the different way in which the en¬ergy is utilized. In ordinary lampsmost of the energy is wasted in theproduction of heat, while the fluour-escent lamps utilize 3 to 4 times asmuch of the same amount of energy inthe production of light.Low Cost For CurrentAlthough the new lamps are some¬what expensive, they last longer thanordinary filament bulbs. Because ofthe excellent quality of light produced,the low electrical consumption (interms of wattage) and long life ofthe tubes, fluorescent light is vei’yuseful for ordinary room lighting. Ac¬cording to the January issue of Con¬sumers’ Union, a buyer’s guide organ¬ization, the power companies are not“pushing” fluourescent lighting be¬cause it might result in gi’eatly re¬duced electrical consumption.IHing Speaks toGerman Club MeetingMrs. Oskar H. Illing, Chicago poetand writer, will speak on “Germanmonuments in Chicago” to the GermanClub at 4:.30 today in Ida Noyes. Asis customary in the German Club, thetalk will be given in German. The pro¬gram will be preceded by refresh¬ments and “lustiges Bei ammensein”and will be followed by gn>up singingof German folk-songs. Tr.uf!^sJT'' Elect Latham Head Ofc^e" Article FederationBy DAN MEZLAY“Many traditional textbooks on fi¬nance written 10 or 16 years ago, as! well as some of the more modern ones,fail to recognize the great values in¬herent in deficit financing, or in apolicy of monetary expansion throughborrowing and through the use of theprinting press during a period of un¬employed resources,” stated HenriSimon Bloch, in an article entitled,“Fiscal Bugaboos and Sound Financ¬ing,” printed in the latest issue of“Social Change, Its Analysis and Con¬trol,” Social Change is published byNew America.Speaks of Social ChangeThe quarterly describes Bloch as a“well-known financial economist whois at present a member of the re¬search staff of the Social Science Re¬search Committee at the University,where he is engaged in a study onpublic debt.”Bloch answers those who believethat the government debt will be aburden on future generations with thefollowing reasoning: Our debt is heldalmost exclusively by residents ofthe United States; therefore it will berepaid to the residents of this coun¬try. Not one iota is lost for the nationas a whole by a transfer from onegroup to another. At present bond¬holders give money to the governmentwhich pays it out to the public; andin the future, taxpayers will paymoney to the government which inturn will return it to its bondholders.Can Increase IncomeIn fact, if the proceeds of the loanhave been paid out mainly to the lowincome classes, the national incomemay have increased and the interestand principal can be paid out of thisincrease in national income. That thebondholders cannot benefit from thisprocess at the expense of the lowerincome classes can be assured by hav¬ing the government engage in a policyof progressive taxation, and in addi¬tion, the imposition of a tax on gov¬ernment securities, which is particu¬larly imperative at a time when hugeamounts of government loans are out¬standing.Include Lang ArticleOther articles in the quarterly,which consists of an editorial board ofJohn Teal Bobbitt, Richard StorrsChilds, I. Krechevsky, and Thomas H.Wright, include, “Labor in War,” byHerbert T. McCreedy; “A Note onRacial Discrimination and the FreeEnterprise Economy,” by Ralph B.Greenfield; “The War as World Rev¬olution,” by John Teal Bobbitt; anda critical note by Albert G.

Heads women’s oHentationSFAC ChangesSetup To GetMore EfficiencyThe Student’s Fiftieth AnniversaryCommittee, dormant all this quarter,early this week reorganized its execu¬tive committee and made plans for arenewing of its fund drive.The reorganization, according toJoe Molkup, head of the group, wasmade oi'i the basis of campus coverageand six separate fields were definedto facilitate the drive. These divisionsare fraternities, clubs, campus ac¬tivities and organizations, men andwomen’s dorms, and special projects..The last named group will be respon¬sible for contriving methods of raisingmoney from the student body as awhole. Among the plans already underconsideration is an all campus raffle.Each of the.se groups will be assignedto a student and these committeeheads will form the central committee.This Co-Ordinating Committee willalso have among its members a treas¬urer and a publicity director.Molkup stated that the reorganiza¬tion would probably be completed bythe end of this week and the actualbusiness of getting the drive under¬way again will be begun. It is ex¬pected that a good bit of the remain¬ing work can be accomplished beforethe end of the present term and thefoundation will be laid for the inten-I sive drive to be held in the Spring.Thus far the S.F.A.C. has collectedapproximately $1,500 in cash andpledges. A large share of this hascome from fraternities and clubs onI campus.Elvin Urges UniversityWomen To Join VolunteersBy STUART SCHULBERGIf you’re a girl who likes the smellof ether and has .a charitable nature,you’re wasting your time. You shouldjoin the Volunteers and trot aroundBillings in a maroon and white uni¬form with a white organdy cap tomatch, according to Jean Elvin, pres¬ident of the organization.Although 80 girls volunteered theirservices last year as clerical workersand night messengers, the doctors andpersonnel of the Hospital considertheir work so important and essentialthat they would like to see the groupexpand.Dr. Whitecotton, director of theHospital, has suggested that volun¬teers are particularly needed in theeye clinic, as assistants, however, notto I’eplace vision test charts.Any girl who’s read to this pointcan qualify as a volunteer by doing aminimum of one hour’s work a week and should secure an interview withMrs. Hazel Findley, Director of Vol¬unteers in the Billings Volunteer of¬fice.

Each fall it blooms like a crysanthemumand like that flower, fades when winter comes.We see no reason why it should.As a police force during the rushing period,its efficiency is questionable; as a worth-whileorganization its activities during the Winterand Spring quarters are plainly inadequate.True, the council, mainly through its executivecommittee, makes plans during the last twoquarters for the coming rushing period, and itdoes attempt to solve some of the most painfuland specific problems of the fratenities when¬ever they arise.But in its attention to lesser troubles andin its lack of imagination in dealing with themore general and lasting problems of fraterni¬ties its weaknesses become apparent. Lessertroubles include incidents such as freshmen liv¬ing illegally in fraternity houses as they havethis year. The more general problems are well-known.Fraternities are always in danger of becom¬ing no more than luncheon clubs. It should bepart of the council’s program to reconsider andrestate from time to time the part fraternitiesshould play in University activities.Its greatest sin is not that it has failed toperform efficiently those tasks it attempts butthat it does so little.The council should be the agency throughwhich fraternities can work as a unit to supportworth-while campus projects.It has done nothing commensurate with itspower and the calibre of its membership to sup¬port the Students’ Fiftieth Anniversary Com¬mittee. It does little or nothing to improve re¬lations between Greeks and Independents or todiscover whether any problems exist in thatquarter.Supposedly the I-F represents the Joe Col¬lege boys own campus, yet it makes no attemptto improve school spirit. The Council should bea powerful force working to enrich life on thequadrangles in general and the lives of frater¬nity men in particular. As a coordinating groupit should unite their efforts in supporting theUniversity and worthy campus activities.At the moment it is an unused powerhouse.It behooves the council to justify its existence.Letters to the Editor The Traveling BazaarMr. Raymond Witcoff, ChairmanPolitical UnionUniversity of ChicagoChicago, IllinoisDear Mr. Witcoff:When I agreed to participate in a three-cornereddebate between Professor Carlson, Mr. Grant Oakes andmyself, sponsored by your organization last Thursday,it was only after I had been assured that Mr. GrantOakes was not a representative of the Emergency PeaceMobilization. I requested this assurance because ofa previous engagement with the Chicago Chapter of theAmerica First Committee that representatives of ourtwo committees would not appear on the same platform jwith the Emergency Peace Mobilization, which is, as 'you know, communist-dominated. iI was consequently much surprised to find afterconcluding my own remarks that you had switched the *second speaker and had substituted a representative ofthe Emergency Peace Mobilization for Mr. Oakes.I wish formally to protest this breach of faith onyour part. A copy of this letter is being sent to theeditor of the Daily Maroon. lVery truly yours, jJohn A. Morrison,, Director By DICK HIMMELAn Open Letter to Gypsy Rose LeeDear Miss Lee:You have captured my heart. You captured it theminute you swept into Mandel Corridor, dripping mink,a red and black handkerchief on your head, and a friend¬ly look. Things kept picking up when you insisted ontaking in the Coffee Shop for breakfast even though itwas two o’clock. When you started making cracks aboutthe intellectual sandwiches of the coffee shop with thebread only toasted on one side I began to slip and thinkthat maybe you weren’t so wonderful after all. Butwhen you ordered milk you had my heart again.Then of course you were interested in the demonstra¬tion “slap” game that was put on for your amusement,although I was sorry you didn’t want to play Gin Rum¬my.And when you whipped off to Mandel Hall to getready for publicity pictures you were superb. While yousquirmed uncomfortably I wondered what was comingoff and a wonderful gag came off. It went like this, Ithink: “I’m so damned uncomfortable. I put on extraclothes to keep up with these college girls and they’rekilling me.”Your drawing appeal was terrific, too. You even gotCecil Smith out of the Music department to say hello. Ifyou remember he’s the Tribune critic who departed fromthe purer forms of music and theatre to give you a“smashbang” write-up.But the hit of the afternoon was when you raisedyour skirt to pull up your stocking and revealed redflannel panties. From then on, Miss Lee, my heart waslost. You explained you had a green pair but they didn’tmatch your fire red suit. Yes, I agree, the green pairwould have given an Xmas touch to a siren.I also liked it when you w'ere talking about yourboss Michael Todd at whose cafe you are currently ap¬pearing (you don’t mind a plug, do you?). Also I likedyour stories in which you continually refer to yourselfas “mama.”And then came the actual shooting of the pictures,and you were one step ahead of the press agent in see¬ing that the pictures would be flattering and show“mama” off to the best advantage. You were swell withthe chorus girls, too. They were a little sour on celeb¬rities since Bert Lahr made wry faces at them. But youwere gay and uninhibited. You told them how much legshould show to arouse interest. I, of course, am awfullyhard to interest.You laughed at the cameraman, made jokes witheverybody in Mandel Hall, were proud of your title asqueen of the strip tease artists, had patience, clowmedon the stage with the dance steps you couldn’t do, madeyour press agent as uncomfortable as hell every once ina w'hile, didn’t think very much of Pulse, was enchantedwith the Maroon, in other words, Gypsy, you were ter¬rific.And on Friday night after the Washington Prom,when we buzz off to Michael Todd’s, save a wink for me.You’ve got my heart. The least you can give me is awink.Gyp, you got it!Stage door Dickie.(They always callme Dickie) Dor¬chester 3310, justin case.P. S.Miss Lee, I just finished talking to you over the tele¬phone and I’m sorry to say we w'ere unable to get apicture of you to run in these columns because it wasso late.I was glad to hear, however, that you got away fromMirror rehearsals in time to take a driver’s license test.Also let me congratulate you on passing the test. I toldyou you wouldn’t have any trouble because policemengive driver’s tests.With a genial pant, I remain,Dorchester 3310, I mean,Dickie CampCaunselarPasitians OpenTa StudentsThe Placement Office announcesthat camp counseling vacancies fornext summer are beginning to be re¬ceived.

The Political Union opinionis difference of opinion. We are not an action group. ThePolitical Union is a campus forum where students ofevery shade of political opinion are invited to freely andopenly discuss the vital issues of the day. In accordancewith that purpose, students representing all points of viewdebated the lease-lend bill at our last session. The lead¬ers of the Liberal Party invited you to the meeting tospeak in favor of the bill. The leaders of the Liberal-Conservative faction opposing the bill invited Pb'ofessorCarlson to speak in opposition. The Labor Party an¬nounced that its spokesman would be either Mr. Hender¬son or Mr. Oakes. Mr. Henderson spoke in the capacityof a labor leader (he is a C.I.O. president), not as a rep¬resentative of the Emergency Peace Mobilization. Youroffice informed the Liberal Party representative thatyou would be willing to speak on the same platform withany labor leader so long as he was not officially repre¬senting the American Peace Mobilization. We deeplyregret that we were misinformed. Meanwhile, PoliticalUnion will continue to function in accordance with thehighest standards of democracy.

Page ThreeIndependentsOrganizeA BULL SESSIONBy Dan MezlayIt has been a well established factthat this campus is in much need ofsocial integration. Any attempt to con¬sider social integration would have toexclude fraternity and club members,since they are socially integrated.Therefore, the only ones to considerin this problem are the independents.It is generally conceded that the inde¬pendents on this campus participate inUniversity social circles to a vei*ylimited extent. Records in the dean’soffice indicate that only one-third ofthe undergraduates are registeredwith student organizations. Some ofthe reasons for such a situation are:1. The major part of social life atthe University is sponsored and en¬couraged by fraternities and women’sclubs. This should be so, since that istheir primary function. But thesegroups cannot always include inde¬pendents in their activities since, ac¬cording to the manner in which theynow operate, they promote, in themain, fellowship among the membersof each of the clubs, and any attemptto include independents would have tobe a very minor consideration, if itwere considered at all. Yet, because oftheir method of organization, theycannot be criticized for this.Social Committee Falls Short2. The Student Social Committee,although making commendable ad¬vances in campus social integration, isstill far short of its aim in this mat¬ter.3. The independents themselves,since they are not organized, cannotpromote large scale University func¬tions. Because fi’aternities and clubsare organized, they provide most ofthe initiative when it comes to organ¬ized social activity.4. Chapel Union has made signalprogress in promoting campus socialintegration, but it is being carried outon a relatively small scale when thetotal number of Independents is con¬sidered. In addition, the connotationof the name of the organization indi¬cates to many that it is limited in itssocial scope.Independents Have No Choice6. The activities promoted by fra¬ternities and clubs are usually for-mals, which a sizeable number of in¬dependents cannot afford, since quitea few independents are independentsbecause they have to be, not becausethey want to be.6. A significant number of inde¬pendents are commuters, and many ofthem work, and many do both. Thussome of these do not have the time, orthey participate in the social life oftheir communities.7. Many clubs are open to indepen¬dents, but they do not make specialefforts to encourage independent par¬ticipation or they require specific in¬terests on the part of the members.Some of these are, DA, APO, Mirror,Orchestra, Blackfriars, and the Stu¬dent Forum.Enlarge Social CommitteeThe next logical step would be tofind the best methods of includingmore independents in student socialactivities. One step in that direction ishaving the Student Social Committeebecome greatly enlarged so that thecommittee would be capable of doingmore work, so that their operationswould be more thorough and on a muchlarger scale. In addition, the socialevents should continually be designedto attract independents, since fratern¬ity men and club women usually at¬tend them anyway.Two GroupsAnother step is to have the inde¬pendents organise themselves. Twoindependent groups have been organ¬ized, the Student Co-op and the Jail¬birds, but their primary functions areother than campus social integration.Possibly the best answer to the prob¬lem is an organization such as the Cir¬cle. The Circle, organized last quar¬ter, consists of a group of independentmen whose purpose is to promote the I social, cultural, and athletic develop-,ment of themselves and other inde-I pendents as well as all University stu¬dents. Membershfp is <^en to anyoneregardless of race or nationality anddues are 10 cents a week. Future plansof this group include: 1. Promote alarge scale University function; 2. Ar¬range to have two or more outstand¬ing speakers debate significant cur¬rent issues in Mandel Hall; 3. Greatlyincrease membership (it has risenfrom 6 to 20) and correspondingly ex¬pand the magnitude of social func¬ tions. 4. Make plans to help a women’sindependent club become organized.5. Do not compete with other organ¬izations, but compliment them. Ofcourse, the Circle is not a panacea forthe problem at the present time, butpotentially it is.ClassifiedATTENTION. MARRIED STUDENTS!!

Upongraduation he was seized by the Irishon an athletic scholarship. After ayear and a half, however, he sufferedthe fate of many an athletic scholar¬ship winner. Unable to play footballdue to a knee injury, he was forcedto leave Notre Dame.Comes to ChicagoHe then spent three and one-halfyears travelling all over the country,supporting himself as a life-guard.Finally he made up his mind to cometo school to get an education andpicked out the University of Chicago.Entering with sophomore status heearned numerals in football, wres¬tling, water-polo and swimming.

Many thingsshould be taken into consideration be¬fore blanket condemnations are giv¬en.InexperiencedThe main thing overlooked is the in¬experience of the squad. Only Stampfwill be lost by graduation at the endof this season. Of the regulars justJack Fons and Chuck Waggenberg arejuniors. It is being too hard on suchan inexperienced team to blame themfor all the mistakes they make in play¬ing against veteran aggregations.Another thing is the lack of height.Only Stampf, Fons, and Jim Crosbieare in the six foot class. This placesthem at a tremendous disadvantage,especially on play under the basket.Stampf is too much of a marked manto be of a great deal of use under thebasket.Tough on DefenseThis lack of height also makes ittough on the team when on defense.A man-to-man style of defense is dif¬ficult for such a small team to usesuccessfully, particularly when pittedagainst a much bigger team. Even so,this defense has been more effectivethan has the zone they have been us¬ing. Their inexperience does not en¬able them to keep their zone fluidenough and yet tight enough to stopan opponent with a lot of drive be¬hind their attack.As is the case with all losing teams,the cry must be “Wait until nextyear.” And this is not as ridiculous asit may seem at first glance.Big NeedsWith the added experience the teamwill undoubtedly be a better balancedone than is the present five. The bigneeds will be an adequate replace¬ment for Stampf, more thoroughknowledge of such fundamentals asdribbling and passing, and strongerreserves.If he can stay eligible, freshmanJohn Jorgenson seems to be the an¬swer to the center problem for nextyear, with* his yearling brothers alsofurnishing the badly needed reserves.The fundamentals, however, lie in thelap of Coach Norgren to do with ashe will.
